The George "Wittbold Co. says that bed- 

 ding out is still in full swing. The big 

 business done this year has produced a 

 scarcity of all vines, good vincas and 

 English ivy being difficult to procure in 

 this vicinity. 



The Peterson Nursery reports the 

 peony season advanced with unusual slow- 

 ness. After beginning to cut, the first 

 five days they sent only 23,000 blooms to 

 the A. L. Eandall Co. Then there was a 

 big jump in the cut. 



Carson-Pirie had their annual peony 

 decoration last year. It was worth a 

 great deal as an advertisement of the 

 flower. Some 12,000 blooms are said to 

 have been used, furnished by James 

 Bang, Elmhurst.

The Market. 



The wholesale market displayed con- 

 siderable activity last week. Work for 

 school commencements caused the prices 

 to advance somewhat, as stock was scarce 

 in almost everything, except sweet peas, 

 which are a glut. The demand for this 

 is fairly good, but not strong enough to 

 consume more than about half of the 

 consignments that come in each morning. 

 The bulk of them come from the Kirk- 

 wood florists. At the wholesale market 

 we find a lot of poor roses and carna- 

 tions, with few that would demand a 

 fair price. Most of our local growers 

 will begin to clean house soon and then 

 we can look for a scarcity. Outside of 

 those mentioned above, not much of any- 

 thing is coming in now. 



The weather has started in hot, and 

 from now on we can look for little busi- 

 ness in the flower line. In grefens we 

 have a nice lot of smilax, asparagus, 

 and both fancy and common ferns. 



VariotM Notes. 



John Quinn has moved his flower store 

 from Grand avenue to around the corner,

bers of the St. Louis Horticultural So- 

 ciety, the society is making preparations 

 to hold the fall flower show in the new 

 Coliseum the early part of November. 



Henry C. Ostertag, chairman of the 

 trustees of the Florists' Club, was out 

 hustling all last week in the interests of 

 the club's picnic next month, and says 

 the souvenir program which he is com- 

 piling will more than pay all expenses. 

 New and novel features will be present- 

 ed, for which valuable prizes will be of- 

 fered. 



T. E. Waters, traveling salesman for 

 the A. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, made 

 his first appearance with the local trade. 

 He left a good impression and reports 

 a satisfactory business. 



Oscar Kuehn, head of the wire depart- 

 ment at Smith's, was appointed official 

 photographer at the Florists' Club pic- 

 nic by Chairman Ostertag. 



James Young, president of the C.

 and happiness to the grandparents.
